Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new $20 bill. I was so29 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on 30 seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. 31 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I 32 I had not actually handed any money to the cashier. I had just 33 out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible. My conscience(良心) opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn‘t 34 over it. I just couldn‘t go back to the cashier and 35 for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I 36 to give myself the pleasure of an ice cream in 37 that someone would say, ―Hey. Jeff, why don‘t you use the change 38 the pizza instead of that nice, new $20 bill?‖ I was not so 39 of my cash now. For the next two years, whenever I was 40 of the ―pizza incident‖, I would say to myself, ― Don‘t think about it.‖ I have learned two things from this 41. Maybe I was a fool for 42 in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a 43 pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will 44 up with you.

When I wrote this you were 8, still a little boy. In 2002, I was called to active duty in the Marine Corps in the War on Terrorism. On the 11th of September 2001 when America was attacked, I knew that I would eventually have to go and I was filled with a deep sense of sadness. That night as you and Keiko were asleep, I looked at your little faces and couldn‘t help but fight the tears. I knew it would be hard for you because I had a similar experience. When I was a little boy aged 6, my Dad, your Grandpa Cawley, was sent to Vietnam during the War there. I remember how much I missed him, too. But now unfortunately I have come to realize just how rough it must have been for Grandpa to be away from his children for a year. Thinking about this, I wanted to put my thoughts and feelings down for you and your sister. I am so sorry that I had to leave for such a long time. There is no place I would rather be than with you and Keiko. You two are the lights of my life. I have known no greater joy than in the few years since you two were born. I hope to have many more years with you. If this doesn‘t happen, then know that I love you more than words can express. If for some reason I don‘t make it home, I will need you to take care of your little sister and your Mom. You will be the Man of the Cawley family. Be good my son and God will watch over you as he has me. I will be waiting impatiently for the time when we can all be together again. All my love, Dad 46. The writer of the letter may be . 第 6 页 共 21 页 A. an American soldier in the battlefield B. an American policeman C. a soldier in the Vietnam War D. a postman working far away from home 47Keiko is the of the writer. A. wife B. son C. daughter D. sister 48. One of the experiences the writer and his son had in common is . that A. they both experienced the Vietnam War B. their fathers had to leave their children and fight abroad C. they used to study in the same school D. they were both eight when the fathers had to leave them 49. We can infer from the letter that . A. the writer was a devoted son B. the writer was a brave soldier C. the writer realized he might die in the battlefield D. Keiko is older than Cecil 50. What do the underlined words mean? A. He owns me B. The writer‘s father has taken care of him. C. God will look after Cecil when Father is away. D. God will bless his son just as the god has blessed himself. B One day, Moyer sat down with his mother, Janne O‘Donnell, to talk about his goal of going to law school. Don‘t counts on it, O‘Donnell told him. She couldn‘t afford the cost and Moyer doubted if he could get a loan, given how much he owed already. ―He said he felt like a failure,‖ O‘Donnell recalls. ―He didn‘t know how he had gotten into such a mess (混乱).‖ A week later, the 22-year-old boy hanged himself in his bedroom, where his mother found him. ―He tried to pay his debts off,‖ she says. ―And he couldn‘t manage it.‖ 第 7 页 共 21 页 To be sure, suicides (自杀) are extremely rare. But despair is common – and it sometimes leads students to rethink whether college was worth it. In fact, there are quite a few jobs that don‘t require a college degree, yet pay very well. On average, though, college graduates can expect to earn 80 percent more than those with only a high school diploma (文凭). Also, all but two of the 50 highest paying jobs require a four-year college degree. So quitting a college education is often not a wise choice. Merit Mikhail, who graduated last June from the University of California, Riverside, is glad she borrowed to get through school. But she left Riverside owing $20,000 in student loans and another $7,000 in credit card debt. Now in law school, Merit hopes to become a public-interest lawyer, yet she may have to put off that goal – which bothers her. To handle her debt, she‘ll probably need to start with a better legal job. Like so many other students, Mikhail took out her loans on a kind of blind faith that she could deal with the consequences. ―You say to yourself, ?I have to go into debt to make it work, and whatever it takes later, I‘ll manage.‘‖ Later has now arrived, and Mikhail is finding out the true cost of her college degree. 51. The reason why Moyer hanged himself was that _______. A. he had a quarrel with his mother B. his mother didn‘t allow him to attend college C. the bank refused to give him a loan D. money pressure was too much for him 52. According to the author, _______. A. most students are satisfied with their college education B. high-paying jobs require a four-year college degree C. college education does certainly mean good job chances D. all college graduates get better paid than those without a college education 53. Which of the following words can best describe Mikhail‘s feeling 第 8 页 共 21 页 now? A. excited B. frightened C. relaxed D. disappointed 54. What‘s the best title for this passage? A. Go for Your Dream B. Education in California C. Is College Really Worth the Money? D. A College Degree, a Bright Future 55. According to the CONTEXT, which of the following can best explain the underlined part? A. His mother paid the money he had owed to the law school. B. He has given the money he owed to the law school. C. Considering that he has debts to pay off. D. He knows that he cannot find a job. C Vocabulary learning is a continuing process. It continues all your life. When you are young you learn something day in and day out. You should keep squeezing every moment of the day into a new and different learning situation. You continually ask questions and drive yourself to learn more. The more you learn, the more vocabulary you will know. No matter what your age, you must continue to learn. Words are ―symbols (符号)‖for ideas. These ideas make knowledge and knowledge is gained largely through words. The following are some suggestions which may help you increase your vocabulary. Read books from fields other than your major. Read books which interest you and concentrate while you read. The more you read, the more words you will come in contact with. Use new vocabulary in your everyday communication (writing, speaking). Become familiar with the vocabulary in your text books. 第 9 页 共 21 页 Become familiar with the dictionary. Understand the pronunciation rules as well as the multiple (众多的) meanings of words. Try to learn 5 words a day. If you know these words, use them in your communications. Without using these new words, it is a waste of your time. 56. The main idea of the passage is ______. A. how to remember vocabulary B. how to learn vocabulary C. how to use vocabulary D. how to teach vocabulary 57. The underlined word ―squeezing‖ probably means ―_______‖. A. 考虑 B. 利用 C. 浪费 D. 挤出 58.Which of the following statement is NOT suggested in the passage about vocabulary? A. Use the new words you have learned when you write and speak. B. Use your dictionary and be familiar with it. C. Concentrate only on the books on your major. D. The more you read, the more words you will get. 59. From the passage we know ______. A. most of your knowledge is gained through words. B. dictionary is the most important way of vocabulary learning. C. if you learn a new word, just keep it in your mind. D. you should spend most of your spare time on vocabulary learning. 60. The writer is probably _______. A. a typist B. a language expert C. a high school student D. a newspaper reporter D 第 10 页 共 21 页 Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take friendship for granted, we often don‘t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a few; for example, the average among students is about six per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy (亲密) between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary enormously. As we get to know people we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background. Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common—they often talk about ―being on the same wave length‖. It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate difference of opinion. In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experience and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class race. 61. What are friends according to the author? A. Friends are those who can get on well with each other. B. Friends are those who can understand each other. C. Friends are closer than those who get on well with each other. D. Friends are those who know how to get on well with each other. 62. In Paragraph 2, ―being on the same wave length‖ most probably 第 11 页 共 21 页 means _____. A. keeping friendship all the time B. having the same age and background C. sharing similar interests, ideas, attitudes and beliefs D. sharing the same rights between friends 63. Which of the following statements is implied in the passage? A. Sometimes friends may have different ideas. B. Close friends must have similar ideas, interests, beliefs and attitudes. C. Friends can break a promise. D. Friends never argue with each other. 64. To strengthen the association between two people, ______. A. friendship ceremonies must be held. B. differences in background have to be removed. C. people should make friends only with those who are similar to them in age and background. D. they should support and understand each other in any case. 65. According to the text, which of the statement is not true? A. Friendship is such a common thing that we seldom think about it clearly. B. We share the same interests so we can make friends. C. Despite argument, some friendships still go on. D. It is not easy for people from different background to make friends. E Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there‘s no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children‘s curiosity. Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The 第 12 页 共 21 页 children asked me ―textbook questions‖ about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, ―Now that we‘re finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?‖ After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, ―Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?‖ This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours. Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their ―wait time‖ to three seconds or more, children give more logical (符 合逻辑的), complete and creative answers. Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child (参加) in a science discussion, don‘t jump in with ―That‘s right‖ or ―Very good‖. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, ―That‘s interesting‖ or ―I‘d never thought of it that way before‖, or coming up with more questions or ideas. Never push a child to ―think‖. It doesn‘t make sense. Children are always thinking, without your telling them to. What‘s more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement. Lastly, show; don‘t tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大镜), and they‘ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates(蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop. 66. According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to do is ____. A. to let them see the world around 第 13 页 共 21 页 B. to share the children‘s curiosity C. to explain difficult phrases about science D. to supply the children with lab equipment 67. In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the word ―lists‖ could best be replaced by ____. A. any questions B. any problems C. questions from textbooks D. any number of questions 68. According to the passage, children can answer questions in a more logical, complete and creative way if adults ____. A. ask them to answer quickly B. wait for one or two seconds after a question C. tell them to answer the next day D. wait at least for three seconds after a question 69. In which of the following paragraph(s) does the author tell us what to say to encourage children in a science discussion? A. The second and third B. The fourth and fifth C. The fifth and sixth D. The seventh 70. The author mentions all of the following techniques for adults to share with their children‘s curiosity except that adults should ____. A. tell their children stories instead of reciting facts B. offer their children chances to see things for themselves C. be patient enough when their children answer questions D. encourage their children to ask questions of their own 第三部分 写作 第一节:短文改错 (共10小题; 每小题1分, 满分10分) 第 14 页 共 21 页 I got to the stadium early so as to find my seat easy. 71.

I' m writing to tell you my opinion on whether middle school students can go to school with mobile phones. I think they can do that, because students can stay in touch with their friends and families wherever they are. Besides, the mobile phone is a way to have fun. However, there are some problems with using mobile phones. The ring of 第 20 页 共 21 页 phones can disturb teachers and students in the classroom. Another problem is that some students can spend too much time and money on phone calls and sending messages. In conclusion, I suggest students not use phones in the classroom. Also, as it is expensive, the owner should take good care of it. Yours sincerely, Liu Qiang 第 21 页 共 21 页
